In AOLserver 4.5, the following works for me:
set id [ns_http queue http://192.168.1.102:8000/sns-thumb.jpg]
set ok [ns_http wait -result image -status status $id]
if {"$status" == "200"} {
set fd [open [file join [file dirname [info script]] myimage.jpg] w+]
} else {
ns_return $status text/html $image
return -code return
}
# Very important:
fconfigure $fd -translation binary
puts $fd $image
close $fd
ns_return $status text/html "Status: $status <br>
<la href=\"/myimage.jpg\">My Image</a>"
ns_http queue and ns_http wait can be in different threads.
